BASIC OPERATION > USING THE MAP POINTER
Using the Map Pointer
Working from the Map Page centers around the use of the pointer.
Controlled by the ROCKER, the pointer is used to pan to map
locations, mark and edit waypoints and routes, and review position
data of on-screen map items and waypoints. When you move the
pointer over a map item, a highlighted description of that item
appears.

at the top of the display showing the bearing and distance
from your boat to the pointer, along with the latitude/
longitude of the pointer.
3. Press QUIT to re-center your boat on the map display.

The map display actively scrolls or pans, enabling you to explore
areas around the world and create waypoints and routes. Pressing
QUIT returns the map to your present location.
NOTE: When the pointer reaches the edge of the map, the unit
can pause as it loads new map data.
